Healing Doctor

Chapter 644 Private Jet? I'm Not Taking It

"Xiao Ji, why did you have to rush back after the show ended?" Deputy Director Zou complained. "Isn't our hospital better than yours? Besides, what's so busy about being a resident trainee? It doesn't matter where you are. If you can't stay, just relax for a few days. Why the rush?"

"Professor Zou, I still have some research work to do back home, and it can't be delayed," Ji Xiang said respectfully.

"Sigh, what a pity." Deputy Director Zou sighed, slurping his words. "Come visit often when you have time. By the way, you should attend the academic conference at the end of the year. Our gastrointestinal surgery department is holding the conference in Beijing this year."

"I'm not sure, and my specialty isn't gastrointestinal surgery, so I doubt they'll be able to find me. But don't worry, I'll definitely visit you often."

Deputy Director Zou looked at Ji Xiang with some regret, and his gaze towards Ji Xiang was strange, as if he wanted to detain Ji Xiang in a hurry.

"Forget about visiting, just come visit often when you have free time. We're organizing an academic conference next year, and we'll send you an invitation. You absolutely must come!"

"Okay, Teacher Zou."

Excuse me for bothering you.

A voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Deputy Director Zou. His short, stocky body twitched, and a glistening strand of saliva stretched from the corner of his mouth.

"It's Dr. Lin." Ji Xiang quickly stepped between Deputy Director Zou and Lin Jiuze.

"He looks like a ghost, he scared the hell out of me," Deputy Director Zou muttered. Seeing that Ji Xiang had something to do, he said he was leaving.

"Dr. Lin, is it the same in Massachusetts?" Ji Xiang asked.

"It's alright." Lin Jiu replied vaguely before getting straight to the point, "Dr. Ji Xiang, I have a favor to ask."

It was a habit to say this, but as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jiu remembered how Ji Xiang had refused without hesitation when he made an unreasonable request last time.

His face looked rather unpleasant, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Lin Jiu was still somewhat hesitant. After the program was finished, he was still weighing whether to watch a few more surgeries or return to Massachusetts General Hospital.

Today, Ji Xiang made a miraculous diagnosis on a patient with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The final diagnosis left Lin Jiu completely baffled, so he made a last-minute decision to go see Ji Xiang.

Can……

"Whatever your request, please tell me," Ji Xiang said with a smile, giving a completely different answer.

Lin Jiu was somewhat surprised. He cautiously said, "Dr. Ji Xiang, I heard that you lead your own team at the Second Affiliated Hospital and have a provincial-level scientific research project."

"I wouldn't say," Ji Xiang said with a smile. "I'm still a resident physician, mainly assisting Dr. Zhao in completing his research. The research project is indeed a provincial natural science project, that's correct."

These words left Lin Jiuze speechless.

"To put it simply, I'm very interested in surgery, and I'd like to study under you for a while. Is that possible?" Lin Jiu said truthfully.

Ji Xiang looked at Lin Jiuze with great interest.

Lin Jiu was particularly curious about this matter. He was born with a different physique and was ignored by others, but Ji Xiang was an exception.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Jiu wanted to "further his studies".

Of course, there are also more important reasons.

"Learning surgery? You're welcome," Ji Xiang said with a smile. "But not in my medical team, it's Dr. Zhao's."

"Really?!" Lin Jiu automatically ignored the second half of Ji Xiang's sentence.

Zhao Zhe, a good-for-nothing old doctor, does he even deserve the title?

"Of course, surgical videos are all available on websites now. You can learn anytime you want, there's no need to hide it. Don't you think so, Dr. Lin?"

That's different," Lin Jiu thought to himself, rejecting Ji Xiang's statement.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, thank you." Lin Jiu bowed deeply and respectfully, almost like a disciple.

"You're welcome." Ji Xiang accepted Lin Jiuze's respect without hesitation.

"Hey Ji, I have something to tell you! The boss backstage at the show arranged a private jet for us to go back. A private jet, that's something!" Lu Gang rushed over, his face full of excitement.

"The production team? The backstage boss?" Ji Xiang frowned slightly.

"Yeah, I've never been on a private jet before. I've heard they have everything you could want. This is going to be an eye-opener for me, I definitely want to ride one!" Lu Gang said, his shiny hair piled up, with only one strand of hair hanging down, which he didn't even notice.

"Oh, you guys sit down. I'll book my own tickets and go by myself," Ji Xiang said casually.

Lu Gang looked at Ji Xiang as if he were an idiot.

"I'm not used to flying on private jets," Ji Xiang said casually. "My dad always tells me to maintain the fine qualities of diligence, frugality, and hard work."

"Are you out of your mind? That's a private jet. There aren't many in China. Everyone who owns a private jet is a big shot." Lu Gang persuaded him in his own way. "You have to experience this at least once in your life. I guess I'll only get to experience it once in my life."

"Let's forget it, Director Lu, I advise you not to sit down either," Ji Xiang said.

"If you don't want to, that's fine. I have to experience it once, so that when people ask about it back home, I'll have something to brag about."

Lu Gang has never appeared on television and is mostly a supporting actor, which he resents.

"Alright then, could you please tell Director Lu and Director Fan from the production team that I can book the tickets myself?" Ji Xiang said.

"Really, you don't know how to enjoy your good fortune. Tsk tsk. Xiao Ji, do you think you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future?" Lu Gang said disdainfully.

"Director Lu, hello."

"Holy crap, there's someone else here!" Lu Gang exclaimed in surprise, glancing at Lin Jiuze.

"Director Lu, please go ahead with your work, but I really don't recommend that you take a private jet," Ji Xiang said earnestly.

"Tch!" Lu Gang made a gesture and turned to leave. In just a moment, he completely forgot about Lin Jiu.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, you are really frugal," Lin Jiu said with a smile.

Ji Xiang took out his phone and started booking tickets, saying as he did so, "There's a big difference between private jets in China and those in Europe and America."

"Oh?" Lin Jiu's expression shifted.

Prior to this, he believed that Ji Xiang was somewhat shy and unwilling to show his weakness, so he refused to take a private jet.

He wasn't even curious.

But now, listening to Ji Xiang's explanation, it seems I was completely wrong.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, what did you just say?" Lin Jiu asked.

"Wait a moment. By the way, Dr. Lin, do you want to come with me or go back to Massachusetts General Hospital to handle some administrative work first?" Ji Xiang asked.

Lin Jiu was completely taken aback by how smoothly things went. After a slight hesitation, he said, "If it's convenient, I'll go back with you."

"Taking a private jet?" Ji Xiang raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"No, I'll go with you and ask about the details of the surgery along the way."

"Okay." Ji Xiang started booking tickets.

After a brief farewell ceremony, Ji Xiang said goodbye to the directors he knew at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical University one by one, and then boarded a plane home early.
